Questions about Theistic evoluton...

Hello, this question is for the theistic evolutionists about theistic evolution and it's validly. It doesn't have as much to do with whether or not Darwinian evolution is true, but assuming for the moment that it is, how theistic evolutionists reconcile the Bible with evolution? If you end up allegorizing the creation account or say that bits and pieces of it is true and some other parts are false, how do you keep from having to apply that same reasoning to the rest of the Bible? And if you apply that idea to the rest of the Bible how do you know if we are indeed saved by faith through Christ or that Christ is indeed the Son of God? Also, I was curious, since young earth creationism, old earth creationism, and intelligent design proponents have their own organizations and think thanks to study, debate and think about all the problems and issues with Christianity and science, does theistic evolution have such a organization or think thank yet? If not, is there one in the works? Not to mention if such a organization were to spring up who would run it and who would be it's major contributors? The only big name I can think of off the top of my head would be Francis Collins, but are there any other big name theistic evolutionists? As of now, I still consider theistic evolution to be a reasonable option, I also currently consider it to be the extreme last ditch effort to salvage Christian intellectualism before giving up the war to agnostic atheism, so I hope to not use it, but I do have it just in case the evidence for darwinian evolution becomes so air tight and irrefutable that I with left with no choice. So let me know what you all think and if you can help me out with these questions. Thank you for your time.
